My Warwick

I read a post on talkbass that said that all of the new Warwicks are made with ovangkol necks...but my bass seems to be an exception to this rule. I have a Streamer Stage II that was made in 2000 and it clearly has a wenge neck and fretboard. Did I luck out and hit the Warwick jackpot?

J.S. Basuki, I wouldn't advise you to mess with such a fine bass unless you are a professional luthier. I've never heard of anyone narrowing their neck, but it seems to me that it might work if you get a pro to work on it. good luck.

If Warwick keep up their trend of making more and more basses, I have a feeling that your wenge neck soon will be exceptional. I lucked out and bought a Corvette the last year they used only wenge on those necks. I like the feel so much more than the newer necks. I think it really affects the sound too.

I love my Warwick but I'm getting concerned with the company and what their goals and motivation are these days. What's the deal with the Jack Bruce signature thumb bass - only 100 made - I don't know. I'm gettin a little spooked.

Jack Bruce...still alive? well no one deserves a sig bass as much as him, but I don't know about the inlaid signature in the body.On the other hand Warwick might be onto something...They should have an option where you could have your own name inlaid on your bass. Maybe I should run that by old Dana B. Goods
